The nuclear family, of which consists of a marriage between a man and a woman which forms the core, is the basis for any stable nation. Religiously based or not, there are many examples that show that the deterioration of the nuclear family leads to increased crime and "perversions" in the nation which it exists. The US is a great example.
Marriage is a JOB. It takes hard work to maintain. There will be bumps in the road and difficulties, but they must be overcome, just like everything else in life. Divorce is weak, and I have a much lesser opinion of anyone who went through a divorce, outside of extraordinary circumstances.
America is going down the toilet because the majority of people now come from broken families. The traditional nuclear family is in the minority, and thanks to the sick, demented gay lobbyists who hide under the guise of such names as the "human rights commission", it is simply seen as an equivalent lifestyle choice.
